Disney has landed in hot water, and this time it’s because of Jimmy Kimmel. After ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live, celebrities are speaking out, and She-Hulk star Tatiana Maslany is leading the charge.
Maslany went on Instagram and told her 500,000-plus followers to ditch Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN. What caught even more attention was that she used an old She-Hulk behind-the-scenes picture to make her point, taking aim at the very company that once hired her.
She isn’t the only one upset. Damon Lindelof, the creator of Lost and The Leftovers, said he won’t work with ABC again. Actress Amy Landecker also jumped in, sharing proof that she canceled her Disney+ subscription. Clearly, this boycott talk is catching on fast.
The suspension came after Kimmel called out what he described as the “MAGA gang” during his monologue. He criticized people trying to spin the case of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk. His comments didn’t sit well with some, and just hours later, the show was pulled.

Things heated up even more when FCC chair Brendan Carr publicly pushed for action against Kimmel, and former President Donald Trump had already warned months ago that Kimmel might be “next to go” after Colbert.
Now, Hollywood is fighting back. Writers and actors showed up outside Disney’s headquarters in Burbank. They were holding signs and chanting for Kimmel’s return. The Writers Guild of America also released a statement, saying writers won’t stay silent when voices of dissent are punished.
